Cooley, 33, hasn't played since 2012, but the pass-catcher amped up his workout regimen this offseason and recently told The Washington Post: "I feel (bleeping) awesome."

Currently working as a football analyst for ESPN 980 in Maryland, Cooley is back down to his former playing weight of 250 after a rash of training sessions at nearby Redskins Park. He sounds confident he can land a job.

"If I went to camp, I could be anybody's third tight end, worst case," Cooley said. "I have no doubt. Any team in the NFL, I could be their third tight end. There's not a question in my mind."

The Cardinals don't loom as a prime landing spot for a pass-catching tight end -- coach Bruce Arians deemphasizes the position -- but making an NFL team in any capacity would serve as a feat for Cooley. Stay tuned.
